We walk down the halls of our lives daily, and routinely come in contact with hundreds of people. Some we know, but most we don’t. Some are potential clients/customers, and many are not. Some of those people we have personal relationships with, and some we don’t. The fact remains is that everyone of us is different and unique with their life challenges and experiences. Everyone has experienced struggles, challenges, defeats, losses and tragedies in their lives. In fact, you would be amazed if you took more time to get to know some of these individuals and learn some of their courageous and amazing stories. But in the end, our lives are all defined the same way, which is “JOHN DOE 1951-2018”. There is one unique feature to this epitaph, and that is the space between the year you were born and the year that we die, otherwise known as your DASH. That DASH is unique to every one of us like a fingerprint or a footprint. It is that dash that defines us and made us who we are, and yet most people will be unaware of our DASH because we fail to develop those inter personal relationships with most people that we meet. Next time someone sits next to you, that you know little about, begin a conversation with them about themselves. Be truly engaged, attentive and sincere with your discussion and you will be amazed what a total stranger will divulge to you about his/her life. It is truly fascinating that when you genuinely speak to someone about their DASH you will be the one that can brighten their day and revel in their experiences with them and possibly create a lifelong friend.

In the business world we all want to know the secrets to success from the highly skilled sales people and successful entrepreneurs. You can write thousands of articles and books about success, but most will not heed the brilliant advice from others. Blindly through the world many will go to only achieve mediocrity and failure because they failed to heed the advice of those more skilled than themselves. I believe there is a secret and it can take decades to sink in, but here it is:

Take time in your life daily to learn about the DASH in other people’s lives. Your sincere inquiries will yield tremendous results and knowledge that would have taken you 10 lifetimes to acquire.

Be a great Me In Team employee and focus on your client’s. Find out what your client’s DASH is and create trust, referrals, confidence and a lifelong friendship that you will always value. You will be surprised, shocked, amazed and even shed some tears, but the value and relationships you create will be priceless. These Me In Team employees are priceless and should be rewarded handsomely for their skills and abilities.

As a leader in your business learn what the DASH is with your other team members and help them overcome specific obstacles and challenges with their lives. Even though you may not be able to save the world, you can help effect change in the world of others. Help a hundred team members accomplish their goals and you will be rewarded handsomely for taking the time to learn their DASH and reach the finish line.

Make your DASH count and be the Me In Team employee or leader that you aspire to be.

Millennials in the workplace are offering up several challenges that contradict the traditional business models of older generations. The Millennial mindset values benefits, growth opportunities and a great working environment. Accordingly, business owners need to adjust their team building practices to reflect the current employment climate. As the Baby Boomers age the Millennials are now the largest group of employable individuals on the planet. Beware that the lack of care and understanding regarding Millennial needs in the work place will result in high turnover, poor job performance and loss of revenue.

The old mores of running a business are now changing and the new norms are being established. The net result of the Millennial work culture will be a more benefit-oriented workplace. Income is not the main motivator for this new breed of employees, but rather time off, growth opportunities, quality leadership, mentorship and a great work environment will win the day.

It’s time for the New Business owner to be sensitive to the concerns of their employees and considering their individual needs and goals. By creating that upwardly mobile, team building and mentoring environment these Millennial leaders will become your most loyal team members and our corporate leaders of the future.

Leading by example will yield great results for your growing enterprise, but lack of understanding of this new and thriving millennial culture will be the downfall of many. Be the Me In Team owner and achieve greatness.

41% of millennials expect to be in their current job for two years or less (compared to 17% of Gen X and 10% of Boomers) (Job Applicator Center)

]]>Peter X. Kelly is a self-taught chef. He didn’t go to culinary school, but his four restaurants and catering business bring in around $10 million in sales a year. He beat Bobby Flay in 2006 and rose to become an Iron Chef (no small feat, as any Food Network fans can tell you). He became the chef of the Highlands Country Club in Garrison, NY at 23 years old. When asked if he was nervous to be so young in such a position, he said he knew he could pick up and try something else if he failed. He didn’t fail. Quite to opposite, actually. He went on to open Xaviars at Piermont and the Freelance Cafe & Wine Bar (both sold in 2016), as well as X2O Xaviars on Hudson in Yonkers and Restaurant X and Bully Boy Bar in Congers. Restaurants are risky, as anyone who wants to open one will hear repeatedly. But in Kelly’s case, the risk paid off. Kelly is also a vintner (a wine merchant) and the founder and culinary director of Impromptu Gourmet, which delivers chef-inspired foods made with real, fresh ingredients to your door.

The Me In Team Insight:

Entering the workforce can be challenging in any field, but especially one as competitive as the culinary world. Kelly dove in without any formal training, instead starting his career washing dishes and working his way up. He knocked on doors, talked to the right people, and eventually landed on his feet. This approach doesn’t work for all fields, but it’s also not an uncommon story. If you’re willing to put in the work and learn by doing, you might be able to make it big. This Me In Team owner was willing to do whatever it took to be successful in his field. Don’t be afraid of hard work, be afraid of not having the opportunity to do so!!

]]>Arlete Turturro has a degree in merchandising from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and a real estate license from Queens College. But these days she’s not working in fashion or real estate. She’s the owner of Night Owl Cleaning Services, and has been for over 30 years.

She started off at B. Altman’s department store on 5th Avenue where she quickly rose through the ranks. At 23, she became the buyer of the bridal department. Arlete left B. Altman’s in 1975 when her first daughter was born and continued her education at Queens College to obtain her Real Estate License. After her second daughter was born in 1977, she became a commercial broker with McDonalds and CVS drug stores.

Arlete Turturro enjoyed the good, natural life growing up in the city of Sao Paolo, Brazil. In the summer of 1960, her family moved to New York City. It took her years, but Arlete conquered the language barrier and after high school headed to the Fashion Institute of Technology where she majored in merchandising. It was then off to B. Altman’s department store on 5th Avenue where she quickly rose through the ranks. At 23, she became the buyer of the bridal department.

Arlete left B. Altman’s in 1975 when her first daughter was born and continued her education at Queens College to obtain her Real Estate License. After her second daughter was born in 1977, she became a commercial broker with McDonalds and CVS drug stores.

In 1987, Arlete moved to Westchester County, New York and got a job with the Liverzani Group in Armonk, New York as a marketing representative and then marketing director of the real estate development firm. One of her tasks was to hire and manage cleaning companies for the buildings the firm managed. She realized that these kinds of companies required more elbow grease than capital and figured it was something she could handle. So, in 1987, while still working for Liverzani, she started Night Owl Cleaning Service. Her first client was a surveyor’s office. Then, solely through word-of-mouth, she gained more clients. It was three years of working by herself before she hired her first employee.

Arlete battled age discrimination and gender discrimination but was determined to prevail. In 1991, she incorporated Night Owl and since it has been growing and growing. In 2004, Arlete was inducted into the Westchester County Business Hall of Fame as the recipient of the “Westchester County’s Women in Business Success Award.” Night Owl offers a huge array of services, like commercial cleaning, providing party attendants, plus 24-hour emergency services, too. Turturro was featured by the Westchester Business Journal and awarded their Woman of the Year Award in 2004. She’s still going strong.

The Me In Team Insight:

You can plan for a certain future—and end up in a totally different place. In Turturro’s case, she changed fields, somewhat drastically, a few different times before finding the business that worked for her. And it’s paid off. She realized through her employment experiences the most effective ways to expand her future business. The Me In Team owner is always sensitive to opportunities, and willing to explore additional income stream options. Always be sensitive to new opportunities even though it may take you in a totally different direction. Starting off by cleaning homes and offices by yourself on the weekends isn’t the most glamorous job in the world, but it is an important one, and it led to Turturro owning her own business.

]]>Eric Yuan came to the US from China in the mid ‘90s to pursue the internet boom—but it took him awhile to get here. The first eight times he applied for a visa, he was denied. Finally, on the ninth attempt he was approved, but the process lasted two years.

In 2012, after working for a Silicon Valley communication startup for years prior, Yuan founded the communication platform Zoom. In an interview with Thrive Global, Yuan says that Zoom started as a daydream, a solution to a long distance relationship that required a 10-hour train ride to see the other person.

Now, Zoom is used by more than 750,000 companies to keep their teams connected through video and audio conferencing, collaborative work spaces, chat, and more. The real-time, face-to-face aspect of Zoom makes it easier for companies to stay in touch, so people can work from home or distributed across other parts of the world.

The Me In Team Insight:

Yuan’s difficult visa experience is a reality for many immigrants. But it’s also a testament to what can happen if you’re persistent and willing to keep trying. Whether you’re applying for an official document like a visa or a permit persistence and perseverance will yield great results—even if it takes more time than expected. The Me In Team owner will persevere until their objective is realized. Never give up! Your success may be right around the corner.

Specializing in millennial engagement, Hyland and Spark Vision offer one-time workshops to help offices foster collaboration and connections among workers. Their Business success is a sum total of their past life experiences.

As a victim of child abuse, Hyland has faced a lot of challenges to her self-worth and confidence. She uses her survival daily to motivate her to succeed in business, drawing on the experience of her past to connect with the people she works with. According to her website, Hyland says she thinks that her experience makes her more successful in her company.

The Me In Team Insight:

Everyone has a past—and not all are good. But whatever you’ve gone through, using your background and experience to help develop your business can be great, even if your experiences aren’t. In Hyland’s case, she uses a troubled childhood to motivate and drive her, and her business benefits from it. Your personal life situations can play a key role in your business growth and development. Be a Me In Team business owner and utilize your past experiences to enhance your business development.

In the business world you will work for a company that will sell a specific product or a service. Sometimes the art of the sale is not easy, and other times the transaction will be seamless and satisfying. The latter is the preferred sales result, and many wonder why all transactions are not created equal. The common denominator for sales success is the perception of the perspective consumer that you can fulfill a need that they have conveyed to you as the salesperson/business owner. Business owners must be in tune with their clients’ needs and their sales personnel need to be equally savvy. The true lynch pin to an irrevocable sale or transaction is the perception of the client about the individual who sells them the goods or services. Your customers want you to be a person that they would want to purchase something from, and will base their decision to buy on the actions or behaviors of a skilled sales representative.

Take heed all sales geniuses, I have seen countless times a transaction that would yield thousands of dollars to the business, disappear with the stroke of a pen or verbal lashing, because the customers perception of their sale genius was less than worthy to handle their individual needs. The circumstances which could negate a transaction can be very subtle or obnoxiously obvious and are caused by the words and actions of the sales professional who consummated the transaction.

I have been in a sales role all my working life and entrepreneurial career. The last 20+ years I have been in the financial services and Insurance industries. Over that 40 year span it has become painfully obvious that your sales success will be based on the perception of your potential customer/client of YOU! It is important for you aspiring entrepreneurs and sales people that you do a deep dive into your behavior and personality so that you can become the best that you can be by understanding that the perception of you by your clients will be a direct reflection of your sales success.

I have put together a list of client perceptions that will be important to understand for any new business owner or salesperson, so that they can be more successful and maintain a strong client base for a lifetime. Who do your customers want you to be?

Likeable:The first thing a client will think about is whether they like you or not and would be willing to work with you if chosen. If you are not likeable or willing to at least act like you are, then may I suggest another line of work for you, or hire individuals better than you that can convey a likeable personality. Narcissistic, braggadocios, self-centered types will ultimately fail as the sales guru because their would-be clients do not care about them, and they want you to care about them before yourself! Be likeable is a great first step.

Knowledgeable: Knowledge is the key to the kingdom. It is your job to know more than any of your local competitors. Convey to your client that you are proficient and exceptional in your field, but it is not your job to be the blast furnace of information on the first visit. Many a sale has been destroyed because a sales wildcat thinks that if they spew all their knowledge at nauseum that they will be loved and respected- That is not the case. Convey the knowledge and information asked for and your client will use you as a resource forever. Information disseminated to a perspective client should be based on a need to know basis.

Competent Are you the one that has the ability and skill to guide your client through the sales process and satisfy their needs? If the perspective client perceives you as competent, they will turn over the keys to their vessel and let you guide it through perilous waters if necessary. Be competent, act competent, be prepared and professional. This will assure a long-lasting business relationship.

Do You Care Your perspective client will hold you to the adage “They don’t care how muchyou know, until they know how much you care”. If you have accomplished all the prior criteria, this is an important aspect in the decision-making process. People want to be cared about and not forgotten. Always keep your clients front of mind, and there are many ways to do that. Constant contact will illustrate to the client that you truly do care, and appreciate their patronage.

Trustworthy With your words and actions do you give the client the perception that you are honest and trustworthy? This is one of the most important attributes that will determine whether you make a sale or go down in flames. Always do the right thing for your clients by your actions and they will be part of your business for a long time. One mis-step or contradiction on your part will irreparably sever your relationship, and that valuable client will no longer be a part of your life. Trust is the basis for all future business and referrals. Be the trusted sales professional and advisor and your business will flourish.

Team Player Everybody wants to be a part of a winning team. Even when we were children most of us wanted to be on the winning team. In business your clients want to feel like they are becoming part of a winning enterprise, and that we will always be in the game. Be a team player and you will attract clients who want to win and be rewarded for their choice. Again, let me caution you, your actions will be enough to exemplify your winning spirit. Bragging, verbal trumpets of travel or personal achievement will be your gateway to a non-client experience.

The client’s perception of their sales representative will determine the result of their visit. If the business owner/salesperson adheres to the aforementioned desired characteristics they will be wildly successful. Be the Entrepreneur or salesperson that truly cares about their clients and exhibit those characteristics through your actions. “You are not who you think you are, You are not who your client’sthink you are, You are who your CLIENT’S think you think you are! Be a Me In Team owner by being Likeable, Knowledgeable, Competent, Caring, Trustworthy and a Team Player and the world is your oyster.

]]>In this robust economy there are more jobs available than there are individuals to fill them. It has become more important than ever to retain your most valuable employees. In today’s working environment with high turnover rates many employees are looking for a better opportunity. The number one reason employees change jobs may not be what you think. Are you ready? Ok- Here it is:

“75% of workers who voluntarily left their jobs, did so because of their bosses and not the position itself”

This statistic should hit a nerve of every business owner, and sound their inner alarms to be better bosses and leaders. The true value of our key employees is priceless, and yet many business owners devalue or minimize these individuals as pawns in a game of chess. Understand that these individuals are real people, with real feelings who want to be part of something special, and will be loyal to their Me In Team leader who sets the stage for their performance.

In the past, many employees have suffered verbal abuse and dis-respect from their bosses, but those days are over. The new era Entrepreneur needs to be sensitive to the needs of his team and accord them the same respect and value that they deserve. The days of the belligerent boss are over, and we now welcome the era of effective leaders. Even the millennials despise an ineffective boss, but they will follow an effective leader as long as they can.

Notice to all business owners and team leaders: 75% of the time when an employee leaves their job it is because of YOUR failure to be a good leader. Stop blaming others for your inabilities to manage people, and strive to be the leader that others will aspire to be. Be a Me In Team leader and you will be a shining example of success for your team, and lead them to their successes.

As a good boss it is your job to help your team members achieve their career goals, and in turn you will realize that your opportunities are limitless with the support of a great team.

“It is better to receive 1% of a hundred people’s efforts than 100% of your own.”

Make the decision now to be the best Me In Team owner you can be, and bountiful success will follow.

]]>There are 1000’s of new business owners who throw themselves out into the brave new world every year, but like a teenager many think that they know everything, and put off to the bitter end the advice of experienced counsel. We see many books and articles written about the successful entrepreneur, but most of these new titans of industry will fail. Let’s discuss the five main characteristics which can, and will, lead to failure in most business growth environments.

Has a Lack of discipline: This type of owner is perceived as lazy, unaccountable, and cannot be trusted. Initially this personality seemed sincere, but as time moves on they prove themselves to be lesser than ideal for their business venture. These individuals show up when they feel like it, and do not care how much pressure it can put on the rest of the team, and always try to justify their poor behavior. Failure is on the horizon for this Entrepreneur, but deservedly so

Selfish, self-centered and a non-team player: These Entrepreneurs are the greatest of the human species in their minds. They are part of this worlds brightest and most capable business owners, and everyone should bow down to their superiority. Even as a leader of a team they will take credit for every success, but blame the team for every failure. In the world of I,I,I with these individuals they are blinded by the fact that they are the ones responsible for their failure. Their self-centered and selfish nature rarely subsides, and they will have a high employee turnover ratio and subpar personal performances for their entire careers. Stay away from these types of business owners or you will get thrown under the bus for the sake of the non-team player.

Is a know-it-all, one upper and materialistic: These Business mavens know it all. Even when they are wrong they are still right. When someone is talking about recent things they have done or accomplished this individual reminds you that they are better than you be doing something bigger and better. You have a motorhome, and their motorhome is much larger. You are going on a trip and they want to tell you all the great places to go. This mentality has no place in a sales or service industry, and those Entrepreneurs that act like this always will fail until they stop their self-aggrandizing behavior. Shame on these owners, although can be very talented, miss the preverbal boat with their arrogance.

Lack of vision and leadership skills: This business owner is a high percentage of new entrepreneurs. You must have a vision and direction to accurately plot your success, but alas, these business tycoons only care about today, making a quick buck then they are out of business tomorrow. Leadership skills can be learned, but the business owner must be humble enough to learn new things that can make themselves champions in their industries. Lack of vision and poor leadership skills results in a severely flawed and failing business that will be forever forgotten.

Wants to be a leader, but doesn’t want to do the work: This is perhaps the least respected business owner. They would love to make money without working, and they love to take advantage of their employees with no just compensation. These owners will watch you work every day, and never offer to help. Their motto is “do as I say, and not as I do”. They talk about the benefits of being a great leader, but have not grasped the concept that they can never lead if others won’t follow. People will walk on nails to follow a charismatic leader, but they will run from someone who cannot lead. This non-leader is not worthy of your time, and you are much better than that. Be the Me in your TEAM!!

If you are an entrepreneur or business owner do not allow yourself to permanently have any of the aforementioned characteristics. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is half the battle. Surround yourself with team members with vision, passion and intelligence, and be the Me In Team leader we all aspire to be.

]]>During the last 38 years of business experience a countless number of mistakes have been made, of which, many I regret. But the most glaring mistake had been my inability to appreciate the most important people around me. Never before have I heard a statement that is so true and simplistic, yet many would be entrepreneurs seem to take it for granted: “ You will ALWAYS lose what you don’t appreciate”. I was not the Me In team, I was the Me in Me, and did not adequately value the people on my team. As your business expands the people on your team will look up to you, and admire you as long as you appreciate their hard and worthy efforts, and reward them with gratitude and praise for their accomplishments within your organization.

When an entrepreneur exhibits superior leadership skills and discipline their companies will grow exponentially if that’s what they desire. The appreciation of everyone in their life will be a guidepost to future success and create a lifetime of memories. The lonely entrepreneur is the person who appreciates no one, and will sit on the sidelines of life forever lonely. YOU WILL ALWAYS LOSE WHAT YOU DON’T APPRECIATE.
